Welcome.
In this meditation,
We'll explore letting go of self-hatred and experiencing self-love.
The love of our inner divine self.
So to begin with,
You can close your eyes.
And let's prepare our body for meditation.
You can let your spine elongate.
Breathe in and breathe out.
Breathe in and breathe out.
Let your shoulders fall away from your ears.
In centering,
We want to Feel our feet connecting to the earth.
And if you're laying down,
It can be your body that's connecting to the earth.
And again,
Breathe in and breathe out.
And let the Earth's energy,
Her love and her light flow up into your feet.
Flow up into your legs.
And the pelvic area.
And let this love and light from the earth flow up through the trunk of the body.
Through the throat,
The head,
All the way to the crown.
When we get to the crown,
Let's invite the divine that's within everything to flow down as golden love and golden light flowing into the crown,
Filling the physical body with love and light.
And just seeing your body filled completely with love and light.
And now let this love and light flow into the emotional body,
Filling all of your emotions with love and light.
Let this love and light flow into your mental body of all of your thoughts,
Filling your thoughts with love and light.
And now bring ourselves into the soul body.
That houses our pure essence,
Our divine light.
That is always within us.
Letting our divine light mix and mingle with the divine light that's within everything.
And as we place ourselves in front of this light,
We ask the grace of this divine light for this meditation.
To guide us and really let us experience the love of the divine.
So in looking at self-hatred,
Have you noticed yourself seeking love from others,
Wanting this love from something outside of yourself?
We want others to like us,
To approve of us,
And we try to be good,
To be kind,
To be loving,
Hoping others will love us.
So wouldn't it be amazing to find the love that we're seeking out there within us?
So we're gonna first take a look at some of the parts of ourselves that we might feel are not lovable.
So to begin with.
Bring to mind a part of yourself.
That you have difficulty loving.
Just one part.
It might be anger when you feel yourself getting really angry.
It might be that you don't want to feel regret and some things in your life you regret.
It might be that you don't want to feel fear.
You might have difficulty loving your body on some level.
Or maybe there's a mistake that you've made and you have difficulty loving that part of you that made that mistake.
Something that you believe makes you unworthy.
So pick one of these.
Whichever speaks the strongest to you.
And instead of trying to change it,
Bring that part of you before your inner divine self.
Whatever that part of you is that you're having trouble loving.
Bring it before your inner divine self.
Maybe it's a part of you that judges.
Bring it before your inner divine self.
And this inner light that is you.
It sees this part of you.
It sees this part of you and it loves you just the way you are.
It says,
I'm not leaving you.
I'm here for you.
You don't have to become different for me to love you.
You don't have to be perfect for me to love you.
I love you just the way you are.
Now imagine the light of the divine,
This divine self that's within you.
Imagine this divine self surrounding that part of you that feels difficult to love.
Letting all of this love and light surround that part of you.
Not to fix it and not to judge it,
Simply holding it in love.
Holding that part of you that needs to be loved.
Letting this divine self that's within you hold that part of you in love.
You might feel it as this loving blanket,
This beautiful loving blanket surrounding you,
Comforting you,
Supporting you.
Letting yourself be held in divine love,
Divine light.
You're held in love.
Held in this abiding love that's with you forever.
Now let's move a little deeper.
Into this divine love.
Feeling this divine love all around you.
And in front of you.
Imagine this divine love.
Touching your hair.
And just saying,
I'm here,
I'm with you,
I love you.
Imagine the divine love kissing your forehead.
And saying to you,
I cherish you just the way you are.
I cherish you.
I see you and I cherish you.
I love you.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Breathing in and breathing out.
And perhaps you'd like for this divine presence to hold you.
Letting this divine presence hold you.
Gently,
Lovingly holding you.
This divine mother,
Divine father.
Holding you in love.
Letting your head rest on the shoulder of this divine presence.
Feeling comforted.
Feeling cherished.
You are beautiful.
And I love you.
You are beautiful and I love you.
You may feel this pulsation within your body,
This energy moving that is this divine presence within you.
Holding you,
Loving you.
Allowing you to simply be just the way you are.
Supporting you.
Now let's rest for a moment in this divine love.
Letting this love surround you support you.
Nourish you Just be open to receiving.
The love of the divine.
Just the way you are.
Receiving the love of the divine.
You may want to imagine.
This divine presence feeding you nectar,
Feeding you love.
Open to receiving this divine nectar,
This divine love.
Opening to receiving this divine nectar.
This divine love.
You can stay with the beloved as long as you'd like.
Resting in the arms of the beloved.
You can let the beloved rock you gently to sleep.
And then when you're ready.
You can gently allow yourself to come out of meditation.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Allowing your feet to connect and ground down into the earth.
And then when you're ready.
You can open your eyes.
Peace and blessings.
Namaste.
